M25M Camera Manual

FOREWORD

Dear MOBOTIX customer,

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a professional and modern

HiRes network camera “Made in Germany”! The robust and versatile M25M

is a cost-ecient and professional mono camera solution with interchange-

able lenses for indoor and outdoor applications (IP66). You can select from a

wide range of lenses, from Hemispheric to Super Wide-Angle to Tele lenses

(now up to 320mm) and CSVario lens. Add to that the proven advantages

that are inherent to the MOBOTIX concept, such as the integrated event, alarm and

telephone features and the modern long-term storage directly in the camera with

all of its beneﬁts.

The weatherproof MxBus and MiniUSB interfaces of the camera allow attaching

MOBOTIX interface boxes and standard devices, such as 3G/UMTS modems, external

storage devices, etc. The integrated 4GB SD card ﬂash storage is easily exchanged for

larger storage requirements, providing for secure long-term storage.

The introduction of the newest ﬁve-megapixel sensor technology with increased light

sensitivity not only generates more brilliant images with more details, it also delivers color

images of higher quality under lowlight conditions. Another improvement – The M25M-IT

now generates HD images (1280x 720 pixels) instead of the VGA images of predecessor

models (640x 480 pixels).

1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

1.1 M25M Allround

1.1.1 General Product Characteristics

Model Variants

The M25M is available as Secure and IT models with dierent feature sets. By default, the

M25M is equipped with either a color or a Black&White image sensor (Day/Night) and

an L25 Super Wide-Angle lens (horizontal image angle of 82°). If desired, the camera

can be ﬁtted with one of six other lenses with horizontal image angles of 7°, 13°, 27°,

40°, 55° and 180° or it is available as a special version with CS Vario lens. Every M25M

comes with a pre-installed and formatted 4GB MicroSD card and a VarioFlex mount for

fast and easy installation.

Due to its extreme distortion, the M25M with the L12 Fisheye lens is especially challenging

where the adjustment of hardware and software is concerned. For this reason, the lenses

M25M models with

L12 and CSVario lens

are only available as

Secure variants (details

Section 1.3

)

L25 to L320 L12 CSVario

of the L12 variant are not interchangeable. The ﬁne-tuning of the lens at the factory is an

extremely laborious and precise process and the setting should not be changed any more.

Complete HiRes Video Solutions by MOBOTIX

As opposed to conventional solutions, MOBOTIX cameras with their decentralized approach

oer so much more – state-of-the-art, network-based video security technology that increases

operating eciency and yields a high degree of every-day usefulness.

Extraordinary Picture Quality

Image quality is the one key criterion of a security camera. Due to their internal video analysis

and data storage capabilities, the decentralized MOBOTIX systems are independent of the

available network bandwidth. As a result, the system provides for eciently storing and

managing the video streams of a virtually unlimited number of cameras with the highest

resolution at a reasonable cost.

5 Megapixel Image Sensors (5MP)

MOBOTIX cameras possess high-resolution image sensors with 5megapixel resolution and

excellent light sensitivity, which translates into more details when zooming and more clear-

cut advantages for every user. By using the 5MP technology in their color and black&white

image sensors, MOBOTIX cameras deliver convincing image quality and details even in

bad weather and under lowlight conditions. Another important plus: thanks to its internal

pre-processing of the image data, the camera can generate video streams with up to

30 frames per second.

QXGA Image Format: 2.5 Times More Detail Than Full HD

The 5MP sensor has a resolution of 2592x 1944 pixels on both day and night sensors.

While the image sensor shows its full strength when zooming the live image, the maximum

image size per sensor has the more user-friendly QXGA format.

Low Light Conditions– No Problem

The maximum resolution of the color and black&white image sensors is 5megapixels.

The higher light sensitivity of the new color image sensors now allow using MOBOTIX color

cameras around the clock even when the illumination is low.

MxLEO: Exposure Optimization and Reduced Image Noise

MxLEO– the MOBOTIX Lowlight Exposure Optimization– is an innovative technology that

provides an entirely new experience in digital image optimization in all cameras running

ﬁrmware 4.1.9 and higher. On the one hand, the improved light sensitivity of the MOBOTIX

5MP sensors drastically reduces exposure times. MxLEO, the exposure and image optimi-

zation program especially developed for these conditions, on the other hand, generates

perceptibly better and more detailed images especially under low-light conditions below

25Lux. Such conditions are typical at a parking lot at night that is illuminated by regular

lights (approx. 10 to 25Lux). Or in a building after hours, in which the emergency lights

are burning (approx. 5Lux). This signiﬁcantly reduces motion blur that is typical of longer

12/136 M25M Camera Manual: Product Overview

www.mobotix.com • [email protected]

exposure times with little light and thus provides much more image detail (faces, license

plates, etc.) for proper identiﬁcation.

Hemispheric Technology

Thanks to the ﬁsheye technology with integrated distortion correction, MOBOTIX Hemispheric

cameras with their L12 lenses provide the perfect overview. Meaningful 180-degree pan-

orama images from wall-to-wall and from the ﬂoor to the ceiling don’t leave any corners

of the room unmonitored. In contrast to other systems, the correction of the distorted

hemispheric image happens directly in the camera and not on the computer, thus drasti-

cally reducing the size of the image before it is transferred and stored. This approach

reduces the network load and allows showing dozens of hemispheric cameras on a

computer or a smartphone.

Robust and Maintenance-Free

Thanks to its low power consumption of about 4.5Watts and

the total absence of mechanically moving parts, the M25M

models feature a wide operating temperature range of

–30 to +50°C/–22 to +122°F. Since MOBOTIX cameras nei-

ther fog up nor require heating, power can be supplied via

the network cabling using standard PoE products according to

PoE standard IEEE 802.3af. M25M IT and Secure models are

absolutely dustproof and resistant against water jets (IP66). In

combination with the supplied M25M wall and ceiling mount, you can use the camera

in outdoor applications and installation over ﬂush-mounted sockets so that the cabling

remains perfectly concealed.

A Master of Adaptability

The M25M models are accompanied by an extensive range of easily replaceable and

interchangeable lenses and a robust lens protector made of scratchproof special-pur-

pose plastic or glass. Application-optimized options for installation on walls, ceilings and

poles, for supplying power, or expanding the functions of the camera are also available.

Furthermore, MOBOTIX customers can take advantage of MxEasy or the professional

control center software MxControlCenter free of charge and with an unlimited user and

camera license. If required, an M25M can even be upgraded to function as a powerful

intercom system by adding the MOBOTIX ExtIO module.

High-Resolution Sees More and Costs Less

One M25M equipped with a hemispheric or standard wide angle lens is usually all that

is required to monitor either an entire room or the four lanes of a gas station. The high

degree of image detail not only reduces the number of required cameras, but also mini-

mizes system costs by reducing the wiring complexity, emergency power requirements

and number of recording devices required. All M25M cameras feature direct recording to

integrated MicroSD cards or external USB drives and can therefore be used in standalone

operation without creating additional network load.

Universal Application from Vacation Homes to Airports

MOBOTIX M25M cameras are suitable for use in large-scale facilities, such as airports,

given their unlimited scalability and high performance. However, they are equally suitable

for use in small commercial or private buildings thanks to their integrated event, storage,

alarm and telephony functions. In addition, MOBOTIX recommends the M25M with hemi-

spheric L12 lens as a superb and inspiring webcam.

The Right Lens for Every Application

No MOBOTIX camera has ever had so many lens options! For the M25M, MOBOTIX oers

seven lenses ranging from the 7° tele to the 180° Fisheye lens.

www.mobotix.com • [email protected]

In combination with the hemispheric L12 lens (180° horizontal image angle), the M25M

becomes a Hemispheric camera.

The M25M-Sec-CSVario is an M25M model that is shipped with a CS mount and a compact

L29–L64 1/2” Vario lens. To protect the lens against the weather, this version comes with

a longer lens cover and threads for an external ﬁlter. This cover will work for lenses, which

have a maximum diameter of 36mm and which are not longer than 43mm. Because

of the image sensor’s size of 1/2.5”, you can only use CS and C mount lenses (C mount

lenses with adapter ring) for 1/2.5” sensors or larger. In comparison with MOBOTIX ﬁxed

lenses, Vario lenses are less robust and less reliable in the long run. For this reason, Vario

lenses are typically used in applications where recording conditions change frequently,

e.g., for surveillance of dierent construction sites.

MOBOTIX Standard Lenses Are Easily Exchanged

Note that you can change all lenses of the M25M yourself on site whenever necessary

(except the hemispheric L12 lens). Each lens is secured by a lock ring. The ordered lens is

factory-aligned and quality-tested in the camera, which makes on-site camera focusing

unnecessary in most cases. Each M25M is available for delivery with a lens of your choos-

ing or no lens at all.

The image area captured by the camera varies depending on the selected lens (see

Section 1.3, «Technical Speciﬁcations»

). With a Super Wide Angle lens (L25 with 82°),

for example, almost an entire room can be recorded from one corner. An L160 Tele lens

enables an M25M with a high-resolution 5 megapixel sensor to clearly record a license

plate number, for example, from a distance of approximately 75meters.

Or even the serial number of a bill from a distance of 2m/6ft.

Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – Without Motor

The M25M can also zoom in on details. This vPTZ function (virtual Pan, Tilt,

Zoom) is a standard feature in the integrated M25M camera software. The

image from the hemispheric camera can be enlarged using, for example,

the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled PTZ panel and you

can “move” the view to any section of the image. This provides the features

of a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages of maintenance and

wear.

Depending on the platform used to operate the camera (Internet browser, MxEasy,

MxControlCenter), the vPTZ function may work in a dierent manner. When using MxEasy

or MxControlCenter, for example, speciﬁc software tools and an optional joystick make

virtually zooming, panning and tilting much more comfortable. Even if you are using only an

Internet Explorer (with activated ActiveX plug-in), you can use an optionally attached joystick.

tion with a USB joystick

Simultaneous Corrected Live Image and Full Image Recording

All conventional, motorized PTZ cameras only store the image that is currently viewed as

the live image (live image recording). This has one serious disadvantage as the recording

can only show what has happened in the “visible” portion of the image; the rest is lost and

cannot be examined later on. For this reason, MOBOTIX has added the new full image

recording feature to the M25M. This will not store the currently viewed image that reﬂects

the pan/tilt position and the zoom setting chosen by the user, but the full sensor image,

without vPTZ settings or image correction. When examining the recorded images, the

vPTZ features again come into play, as they allow zooming the visible image and using

the pan/tilt features to examine every corner of the recorded full image.

Example: The persons highlighted by the red circles in the center image would not have

been recorded by a regular PTZ camera; the full image recording of the M25M in this

example allows determining the exact time at which these persons had entered the

image area recorded by the camera. A browser (Internet Explorer with MxPEG ActiveX

plug-in), MxControlCenter or the new, multi-platform application MxEasy can be used

to examine the recorded sequences.

Integrated vPTZ func-

tions allow the complete

stored full image to be

analyzed at a later point

in time (in MxEasy and

MxControlCenter)

Internal DVR

The M25M-Secure features direct recording to the integrated MicroSD

card, which makes the camera fully independent of any external

storage media, even for longer periods of time. The camera internally

stores high-resolution video, without requiring an external recording

device or PC and therefore without overloading the network whatso-

ever. Old recordings can be overwritten automatically or automatically

deleted after a speciﬁed period of time. When using a 16GB SD card,

for example, the camera can store more than a quarter million event

images in VGA format (640x480). For security reasons, the camera

can even encrypt the stored data.

Power failures are not an issue, since the video and image sequences remain safely

stored on the SD card. Access to stored video sequences is possible at any time from

the camera user interface in the browser, MxControlCenter or MxEasy. If you would like

to archive sequences, you can export the required data to a PC or USB stick for evidence

purposes, for example.

MxActivitySensor Video Motion Analysis: Secure Detection, Avoiding False Alarms

Regardless if there are large objects in the foreground or small objects in the background–

MxActivitySensor will only trigger video recording and alarm messaging if something

important is happening. Interference such as trees shaking in the wind, moving shadows

and clouds and snow falling will no longer lead to false alarms. Since all of this is ﬁltered

automatically, all that remains is to set the direction of movement of objects that should

trigger alarms.

1.2 M25M with Special Lens Hemispheric L12

Equipped with the 180° L12 lens, an entire room can be ideally monitored using only one

M25M, which replaces the time-consuming and expensive installation of several standard

cameras. The overview image provided by a single M25M, which may be personalized in

a number of ways according to speciﬁc user requirements, not only reduces the number of

required cameras, but also minimizes the system costs by reducing the wiring complexity,

emergency power requirements and number of recording devices required.

L12 Lens: High-Resolution 180° Panorama

When several cameras are monitoring a single room, it is dicult to understand the room

layout due to the dierent viewing directions of each individual camera. This makes it hard

to comprehend the overall setting. The new panorama function of the M25M with the L12

lens delivers a widescreen, corrected image of a high-resolution 180° allround view. High

image quality is achieved through the use of a ﬁve-megapixel color sensor and the new

hemispheric lens of the M25M.

With approximately 0.6 megapixels (1280x480 pixels), an M25M panorama image only

requires a fraction of the original data volume or bandwidth of a QXGA full image (1280x1536

pixels).
